Robin Moule Gravely

Robin Hope Moule was born on December 29, 1941, to Hope and Rex Moule in Dayton Ohio. She was one of three children Stuart and Rex. Her family later moved to Worcester Massachusetts where her father developed the first automatic encapsulating machine which he later sold to Revlon and is still in-use to this day. Her family were ‘Northern Baptists’ and she attended and graduated from Wachusett Regional High School in Holden MA. She is a survivor of the great 1953 Worcester Massachusetts Tornado which is considered one of the worst tornados to have ever hit New England. Her family (living in the directly affected Holden Suburb) survived by huddling in their house which had a large, flagstone fireplace. Many people and neighbors were killed during the storm, and she spoke often of the traumatizing event throughout her life. Robin was a graduate of the University of Miami where she received her undergraduate degree in psychology and was also a proud member of the Kappa Kappa Gama Sorority (she would gladly sing you one of the many ‘Kappa’ songs). She is also a graduate of the West Virginia University School of Pharmacy and went on to be a licensed Pharmacist who worked almost 30 years both in West Virginia and later Florida. She married William Schaum Gravely II of Charleston West Virginia in 1965 and had two sons Billy and John. She was a proud member of the Junior League in Charleston, West Virginia where she participated in charity and fundraising events and even some stage productions where she would sing and dance in various performances. Robin also battled Scoliosis throughout her lifetime, though the condition did not really become visible until around middle age. A naturally pretty woman - the visible effects impacted her, and she became more self-conscience as the condition progressed. As time went on the Scoliosis caused her considerable physical pain and made it difficult for her to sit comfortably and walk for long distances. Robin is survived by Her son William Gravely III, his wife Morgan and their son William IV. A daughter-in-law Kim Gravely and two grandchildren Ethan and Taylor. Her Brother Rex Moule, his wife Sara and their children David and Stephen. Her sister-in-law Cindy Moule and her children Scott, Brett, and Clint. Robin was predeceased by her parents, her brother Stuart, and her son John. All of whom she loved dearly. Robin was a very beautiful and loving soul, and she will be missed by all those who knew her well. An internment service will be held at a later date at the Mountain View section of the historic Springhill Cemetery in Charleston West Virginia. In lieu of flowers donations to the National Scoliosis Foundation www.scoliosis.org would be appreciated. Jared Padgett of Bevis Funeral Home is assisting the family with their arrangements.
